potocari rain


A's eyes seemed filled with tears that do not fall at Dutchbat he escaped the chaffing by bare weeks 13 is an unlucky number here too
when the March for Peace is mentioned
    they light up for a moment
the other time this happens
    I think I had asked a stupid question
and then they twinkled 
    part pity part indulgence
i’m sure it’s not because he’d seen
    anything new under the sun
A stylized, high-contrast, vertical photograph of the dark, pitted wall of the battery factory at Potocari, which bears the scars of the Srebrenica Massacre. The image serves as a powerful backdrop for a poem that tells the story of a survivor, a poignant detail that adds a layer of personal history to the post.
